The comment does earn a dark look, possessive and hateful. It's not lost on him that Walter hasn't complained about Malcolm or mentioned any blunders from his 'permanent warden' since they got back from the Narrenschiff. Between the Justine incident, and whatever else transpired between the 'pair' during those few moments when they were alone together, seems to have drawn them closer.
Walter may be close to graduating, which is a thought that gnaws at him. However, before he can say anything, Walter says that. He's aware it's only meant to distract him, to change the subject.
Still, the twitch of horror on his face is real, though he quickly covers it with bland annoyance.
"I can't believe I've been here long enough to see three rounds of this stupid game." He laughs a little. "Hey, if you leave a handwritten note, you putting my picture up might encourage Malcolm's little delusion about the nature our relationship. That might be prudent. Nine months without sleeping with any of these dreadful people, most of whom I think happen to be hideous, is probably as alarming as not having a permanent warden."
